Keep in mind that heat breaks alcohol down, so wait till it's good a cooled down before adding the 190 proof grain alcohol.
I tried several different ways, leaving a cinnamon stick in a jar, refrigerating it, drinking it with ice, and the best I've found is, letting it cool for several hours or over night before adding the alcohol, taking the cinnamon sticks out just before adding the alcohol, the longer they stay, the more they deteriorate and you get small pieces in the shine.
I prefer drinking mine at room temp, adding ice waters it down, with some whipped topping added to it.

I've noticed a few of y'all said that it mellows out the longer it sits.
I noticed with mine that as time went on, the alcohol taste got a lot stronger. Wasn't quite as smooth as the first few days, but still drinkable.
I also think on my next batch I'll add less sugar. It was almost too sweet.
